A new evil arises and must be stoped. The mane six must recover the elements of harmony to save Equestria, through unconventional means, and with a little help from some new friends. Also i suck at writing descriptions but if the title and the image doesn't give away what the story will be about then just read it.

The Calm Before The Storm

A bit about me be for we begin 1. This is my first fan fic so be nice 2. I don’t have an editor so refer back to rule 1 and 3. and 3. I have Dysgraphia, no I’m not going to die in three weeks (unless I get hit by a bus), it just means that I am going to have a hard time with the grammar and word choice; also I did not just misspell Dyslexia
Legal stuff: I do not own My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, which belongs to Hasbro Inc

Twilight Sparkle opened the library door as the bright sunlight blinded her. After blinking a few times to adjust to the midday sun Twilight saw Rainbow Dash posting this week’s weather schedule. As soon a Rainbow Dash finished posting the schedule she turned around and almost collided with Twilight.

“GAHH!” Rainbow Dash yelped “gez, Twilight don’t chya know better than to sneak up on ponies?” she said with a hint of irritation.

“Oh, I’m sorry Rainbow it’s just that I wanted to see if this week would have a good day for re-shelving day.” Twilight apologized.

“Well it won’t this week is supposed to be perfect; no clouds, comfortable temperature, with a low humidity.” Rainbow replied with a smile. “it also may continue for a few weeks ‘cause Appleoosa got hit with an unscheduled drought in the middle of their rainy season.” Rainbow then started to hover just above Twilight and said “well I have to dash gotta distribute the rest of the schedules to my team the sign out some humidity scrubbers from Cloudsdale see ya latter Twilight” she called out flying off.

“Ok bye Rainbow.” Twilight yelled back as she made her way to Sweet Apple Acers

When she arrived all the members of the Apple family where hard at work; Big Macintosh was pulling a massive overflowing cart of apples up to the barn, little Apple Bloom was picking up apples that had missed the bushels set out beneath the trees, Granny Smith was busy…napping, and Applejack was bucking up a storm. Feeling slightly mischievous Twilight waited until Applejack bucked the tree and caught the apples before the left the tree limbs. Applejack looked around suspicious then bucked the tree once more. She kept bucking until she looked up. That was when Twilight let all the apples fall on Applejack. A few seconds later, slightly annoyed, Applejack stuck her head out of the pile of apples and glared over to where Twilight was standing.

“Real nice Twi that was sooo helpful” the farm pony drawled sarcastically.

Twilight chuckled and replied “Sorry Applejack I guess I have been spending too much time with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, here let me help you.” As she telekinetically lifted all the apples in the row that Applejack was working on.

“Ah… well thanks sugar cube now it looks like I have the rest of the day off” Applejack said as Apple Bloom over heard and wined

“Awww… how come you get tha rest of tha day off but ih have chores?” as soon as Apple Bloom finished saying that Twilights horn started to glow and all the apples that had missed their mark floated into the baskets. Apple Bloom hugged Twilight so hard that she could have sworn that she heard something pop. Twilight then telekinetically helped Big Mack pull the cart into the barn, once it was in the barn a large red hoof waved a silent thanks from the door.

“So Twi what are you up to today?” Applejack asked

“well I am visiting all our friends to tell them about this amazing weather that will last all week, and that we should start planning something special-” twilight was then cut off by a sudden shower of apples
“A PARTY!” shouted Pinkie Pie as she burst from a bushel of apples.

Applejack and Twilight both stood there in a mixture of surprise and confutation as Pinkie said

“Wow girls you should really close your mouths or else you’ll swallow flies, and flies don taste good, they also get stuck in you throat and the you need some punch to dislodge them and speaking of punch could you two go and get Rarity and Fluttershy cause if I leave now and travel at 96o east at 42 miles per hour at an altitude of 1064 feet above sea level I should be able to intercept Rainbow Dash.” Then Pinkie kicked the nearest apple tree and her candy colored peddle copter fell out of the tree. She then hopped on the contraption and flew off. Applejack shook her head violently while Twilight tried to come to term with how Pinkie Pie could break the laws of physics on such a regular basis and gave up. They then compared notes and deduced that Pinkie wanted them to get Rarity and Fluttershy for tonight’s party and that Pinkie was right, flies do not taste good. The two mares then both made their way to Fluttershys cottage.

When the unicorn and earth pony mares arrived at Fluttershys it was not the usual little peaceful cottage that they knew and loved. It was a circus of flapping wings, screeching, hissing, and frantic running. A frazzled Fluttershy was trying to coax a family of bunnies out of there burrow but to her dismay they would not come out, even for all the carrots in equestrian. Twilight and Applejack both did a double take as applejack addressed the panicked Pegasus
“Um sugar cube what in tarnation is go’en on around here, it’s usually like one of them Japonies monk’s rock gardens but this place seems to be a regular rodeo.”
Fluttershy turned to face her guests and said timidly but stressed “oh hi girls things have been getting a little hectic I have tried pleading, persuading, begging, beseeching, bargaining, mediating, negotiating, coercing, and bribing but nothing works. They just keep saying ‘storm’ please twilight could you troy using one of your spells?”
Twilight looked around and racked her brain for a good spell after a few minutes of thought she decided on a spell and preamble “I think I have one I discovered it in Policing Monthly it is used by officers to subdue rioters by making them tired. But because all these critters are smaller than ponies it should put them right to sleep” as her horn was enveloped by a purple aura. Concentrating hard she then released the spell in the form of a bright flash. When the light faded the three mares looked around and breathed a collective sigh of relief. All the animals had fallen asleep where they were.
“Oh thank you Twilight I don’t know what I was going to do it’s so weird I just hope they will have calmed down when the wake up” Fluttershy said barely above a whisper.
“It was no problem” twilight said “I’m just glad that I could help”
“Well now then now that that’s taken care of would you like to come to Pinkies party tonight?” Applejack asked.
“That would be…nice” the shy Pegasus responded. The three mares then set off for Rarities boutique.

When the trio got there Rarity was standing in front of her door, horn aglow and a concentrated look on her face. Fluttershy was the first to approach Rarity and said softly “um…hi rarity… I’m…um…sorry if I’m uh… bothering you… but …” as she was cut off by Rarity

“Oh, hello Fluttershy darling and hello to you too Twilight and Applejack how nice of you all to drop by.”

“Hia Rarity wacha dooin out here you can’t be tryin to find more gems, after all you did have Spike dig up just ‘bout every single one within the town limits.” Applejack said.

“Oh, no” said Rarity “you see recently the local Diamond Dogs have been resorting to breaking into other ponies homes to get their paws on every last gem so while I was in Canterlot I got myself a new lock for my door, and after having it installed I decided to test it out by trying to pick the lock.”

“Well it must be a good lock if you where concentrating that hard” twilight responded.

“Actually I had it open after few minutes, definitely not worth the 300 bits I spent on it, so I am trying to improve it.” Rarity said levitating several small rubies and inserted them into the lock then took several other rubies and replaced some of the teeth on her key with the rubies. The key had one of every gem stone on it.

“Uh Rarity ah know that you like your things all pretty-a-fied and fancy like and ah can see why you would bejewel your key, but why did you put rubies in the lock?” Applejack asked leaning in closer to Rarity.

Rarity closed her eyes and gave a quick huff of frustration before starting “Well you see it’s a process, I first removed the tumblers from the lock and added some gems to each of the pins that would match up with the same gem on the key. The key works like it should by pushing the driver pins up and out of the cylinder but the gems are enchanted to float a little keeping the key pins above the shear line if there aren’t the correct gems with the correct sister spell on the key.” She finished proudly. Looking at her friends she saw that she lost Applejack, Fluttershy, and to her surprise Twilight.

Quickly she summed up “basically it works like a normal lock but it’s enchanted to open with this key and this key only, not even an exact copy will open it.”

“Oh… ok I think I get it now I didn’t know that you where that good of a locksmith.” Twilight said.

“I didn’t even know you where a locksmith.” Fluttershy added quietly.

“Meh” Applejack muttered “it’s all fancy to me.”

“Ughaaa… for the hundredth time Applejack its French not fancy you going to offend somepony someday.” Twilight said in an annoyed tone.

As Applejack and Twilight argued about whether it was fancy of French Rarity addressed Fluttershy “before I was distracted what did you want to ask me?”

“Um well Pinkie Pie is throwing a party to celebrate this nice weather and we were wondering if you wanted to join us?” Fluttershy asked.

“I would be delighted just let me clean up first.” Rarity said.

A few minutes later the debate had “ended” with both sides still in disagreement as the four mares made their way thru town.

Before they even made it to the street Sugar Cube Corner was on they could hear the House music and smell the baked goods. When they rounded the corner they saw that the street was full of ponies recognizing a couple of familiar faces, there was Derpy who was balancing several muffins on her nose. There was also the local lesbian couple Lyra and Bon Bon both dancing to the music that DJ Pon-3 was playing, and sanding in the mouth of an ally was the mysterious brown earth pony stallion that no pony knew but saw every couple days. As a small group of ponies walked past him he disappeared. Twilight then dismissed him and enjoyed the night with her friends at the end of the night Pinkie Pie gathered everypony in the center of town. Then once the clock struck twelve the sky erupted with deafening booms and sharp cracks and lit by showers of gold, silver, ruby, emerald, and sapphire colored sparks. As the grand finale finished everypony cheered and stomped there hooves in approval, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow dash all congratulated Pinkie Pie on a successful party while Twilight stayed behind until they had all left and quickly asked.

“Where did you get the bits to do that? It must have been very expensive.”

“Actually it wasn’t.” Pinkie answered “especially since I made them myself.”

“PINKIE!” Twilight exclaimed “be careful, if you messed up them it would be a lot worse than the baked bads incident.”

“Oh relax Twilight I have been working with high explosives ever since I was an itty bitty little twinkie pinkie and making fireworks is much easier than using TNT you see first you pack some black powder into the bottom of the rocket to propel it up then in the nose you put a blasting charge surrounded by black powder and tiny beads of metal to give the firework the color you want.” Pinkie said beaming while twilight just stood there slack jawed at the pink ponies brief but still detailed explanation of how fireworks were made.

“Well like I said be careful with those materials I don’t want anything bad happening to you.” Twilight said somberly.

“Okey dokey lokie, have nice night twilight.” Pinkie said.

“You to Pinkie see you tomorrow” Twilight said tired

“WAIT… it is tomorrow” Pinkie said pointing out the clock tower giggling to herself.

Twilight sighed and said to Pinkie Pie “your right then I will see you later today.” As the two mares left the towns square neither of them noticed the clouds mixing with the gun smoke.

Chapter 2

“Ah this day is going to be wonderful.” Twilight said as she leapt out of her bed.
“Ughh… quite Twilight I’m trying to sleep” Spike groaned as the lilac unicorn whispered a quite apology and tiphooved down the stairs and made herself a quick breakfast. She then reached into her secret gem stash and got spike a nice emerald as both an apology for waking him up and as a reward for helping Pinkie Pie last night. After her breakfast she decided on a quick plan; 1 go help Applejack with her chores, 2 get Fluttershy and Rarity to them meet Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie at Sugar Cube Corner for lunch, 3 break off to go and do some errands and clean the library a little, and finally 4 the perfect end of the perfect day rejoin the group for a spa trip. She walked over to the door and opened it to a torrent of rain, 30mph winds, and freezing cold. She struggled to slam the door and quickly wrote a letter to Princess Celestia that briefly explained her situation of crazy weather and most important HELP. She then yelled up to the lazy dragon.
“Spike wake up something weird is happening and I need you to send a letter to Princess Celestia for me.”
“Ughhh… all right” Spike grumbled as he rolled out of his basket and made his way down stairs. He grabbed the letter and set in ablaze with a short burst of green fire. But instead of the ashes floating away in a magical wind, the ashes just fell to the floor.
“What the,” Twilight said puzzled, “let’s try this again,” as she handed him a new letter, only to get the same result. She then resorted to handing him blank scrolls all becoming ash. She kept this process up until she was out of scrolls.
Then Spike said hoarsely, “Twilight I don’t think its working.”
“Really I didn’t notice” Twilight said stressed out as there was a knock at the library door. “And now I have some crazy pony at my door.” She said getting more and more annoyed “Oh I hope its Rainbow Dash because if it is she is not going to here the end of it.” As she opened the door she was pelted by grape sized hail and battered by gale force winds. After hearing three sets of hooves enter the library she managed to get the door closed. As she turned around she saw who her guests where. There standing before her was Princess Luna and two of her personal guards; they looked like they had been in a fight, the guards armor was dented and scuffed and Princess Luna’s starfield mane was mated, her legs where bruised and there was a massive burn on her left flank.
“Oh my gosh Princess Luna, why are you hurt, are you ok, what’s going on with this weird weather, and how come spike can’t send letters to Celestia?” Twilight said assaulting Luna with questions.
“Twilight Sparkle,” Luna said very officially “I’m glad to see that you are ok, you have every right to be concerned though because as we speak my sister is buying us as much time as she can.” The lilac unicorn just stood there confused Princess Luna had just shown up out of the blue and then ignored all of her questions. Before Twilight could say anything Luna’s horn was lit and in five bright flashes all of Twilights friends appeared. They were all dressed for different weather patterns; Rainbow Dash was wearing her official Wonderbolts flight goggles along with a balaclava and a cyan scarf with multi colored tassels, Rarity was bundled up with just about every article of cold weather clothing that Carousel Boutique had wielding an ice pick, Applejack was wearing a set of galoshes and a rain poncho in addition to her usual Stetson that was soaked through, Pinkie Pie was wearing a desert scarf, sunglasses and a long flowing robe, Fluttershy was not wearing anything but her mane and tail where both wind tossed and had a couple of leaves in them.
“I am sorry to have summoned all of you on such short notice” Princess Luna said stoically “but we do not have the time for such luxuries, for as we speak Celestia is buying as much time as she can.”
“Princess please tell me what is going on with the weather why can’t i send Princes Celestia any letters?” Twilight inquired.
“If you can’t send letters to Celestia then she has been defeated and we are running out of time.” Luna said with growing concern “time for the condensed version, me and my sister both have a younger brother, Prince Cloudburst, he is master of the meteorological. After the rule of Discord and before I was corrupted he tried to stage a coup, he failed and was banished to the Everfree Forest, but you six bare The Elements of Harmony and should be able to banish him. Will you do this for all of Equestria?”
“Of course Princess.” Twilight said bowing.
“For Equestria!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash as she saluted.
“Oh… it… is… ON!” Rarity yelled to everyponies surprise “what did you seen what I was wearing when I arrived it was a crime against fashion.” She added dramatically.
“Okie dokie lokie” Pinkie Pie said while Fluttershy just nodded her head yes.
“Ok I will teleport you six to the castle when you have a plan.” Said Luna
“let me think” Twilight said thinking out loud “ok here is the plan, Ra-” but was cut off by several quick flashes of lightning and booms of thunder.
“No time you need to go now! Do not stop for anything get The Elements of Harmony at all costs.” Luna said desperately as she teleported Twilight and her friends to Canterlot Castle. As soon as they were gone the wall behind her exploded in another flash of lightning, her guards flared there wings and took defensive positions in front of the princes ready to defend her with their lives. Princess Luna turned to face the hole in the wall and addressed the gray figure that stood there.
“Hello, brother” she spat melodramatically.

Twilight and her friends appeared before the massive wooden doors to the Hall of Elements. After a quick limb check Rainbow Dash was the first to speak “ok first we need to get this door open.” The six mares all pushed the doors, after several seconds Twilight stepped back and said “you do know that I had a plan, right?”

“Yaa, well mines better, and faster.” Rainbow Dash said quickly before yelling “Push!” as the ancient door creaked.

“Um girls…” Twilight said taking a few steps back.

“PUSH!” Rainbow Dash grunted, the doors practically screaming in protest.

“I think that…” Twilight said with growing concern.

“YEEEAAAAGGGAHHHH PUUSHH!” The cyan pegasus screamed as several sharp cracks broke the wood. The cracks increased in frequency, several hollow pops joined the ever increasing cracks. As the sound of twisting steel became the crescendo to the symphony the doors were creating all leading to the thunderous crash of the doors being pushed off the walls to become the finale to the one and only door breaking overture.

“I think we were supposed to pull.” The lilac unicorn said dejected.

“Is everypony ok” Applejack asked

“I think so,” said Rarity “oh no where’s Fluttershy!” She gasped.

The hallway was filled with a chorus of ‘oh no’s’ and ‘Fluttershy’s’ until Pinkie Pie shouted “up there” pointing up to a chandelier with the yellow pegasus passed out, tangled in the crystals.

“Oops” Rainbow half heartedly apologized “I hate to say it but that is the best place for her, she is safe and when she wakes up she will have one of the best lookout spots.” Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Twilight all had to reluctantly agree to that idea.

“Ok time to throw mah two bits into this plan” Applejack suggested “so what ih’m thinkin is Rarity will keep a look out while Fluttershy is out of commission, ih’ll stay by the doors to take care of anypony who thinks that disturbin us is a good idea. Twi and Rainbow, you two will go and open the vault, Twi will do her magic and rainbow will deal with the guards if ih’m over powered. Pinkie Pie will…” she trailed off as she looked over to her fellow earth pony who was preparing her party cannon.

“I will be providing anti air support, cover fire, and light artilary” the pink party pony said way too confidently while the four other conscious mares gave her a bewildered look.

“wha… hugh… you know what, NO… NO, NO, NO! Last time I tried to think about pinkie pies abilities I almost had an aneurism, and ended up in a body cast.” Twilight started to rant but before she could continue a cyan hoof smacked her lightly upside the head. “Thanks Rainbow” Twilight said returning to her senses “let’s get going to the safe” as the lilac unicorn climbed over the remains of the doors when she saw the Hall of Elements. Twilight looked into the hall the stained glass windows that usually depicted scenes from the rule and fall of Discord, the fall of Princess Luna, the cleansing of Nightmare Moon, and the second fall of Discord almost all of these beautiful windows had been shattered except for the one of the fall of Princess Luna. The lilac unicorn slowly made her way through the ruined hall the shards of broken glass made it seem as if the hall was paved with gem stones. Stopping in the middle of the hall she noticed that it was eerily quiet the only sounds that she could hear where the sounds of Rainbows wing flapping gently and the sound of a light breeze drifting through the shattered windows. After a few more seconds of walking she had finally reached the door of the vault that was when she started to notice the sound of horseshoes hitting helmets’. Wasting no time she got started on dispelling Princess Celestias lock spell. As she worked she couldn’t help but notice that the sounds of fighting where getting closer, the party cannon was firing more and more, she also noticed that Rainbow Dash had left her side.

“Ha! Take that you ruffians.” Rarity yelled breaking away from the brawl “Twilight dear would you like some help?” The white unicorn asked her struggling friend. Twilight could only nod her head in response. The fighting was getting more and more intense Applejacks back hooves where starting to bleed, Rainbow Dash was starting to get tired which was making her get sloppy, pinkie pie was doing her best to provide some support but she was starting to run low on party cannon balls, and Fluttershy who had regained consciousness was cowering underneath Rarity and Twilight. As soon as the two unicorns had opened the vault the last whole window was shattered, the wind blew at hurricane force, lightning arced everywhere as the temperature dropped several degrees. The six mares had their backs against the wall and where starting to be surrounded by many different kinds of ponies all wearing light gray robes with silver helmets that had dark gray tassels attached. A figure the size of Princess’s Celestia and Luna flew through the now shattered window. His coat was a light gray, his mane and tail were thunderheads, when he flapped his wings it would generate gale force winds, as lightning occasionally arced from his hooves.

“My lord” a robed stallion said to the new alicorn “we have managed to detain the wielders of the Elements of Harmony just like-” he didn’t get a chance to finish, a grey glow around his neck cut him off.

“I told you to stop them before they got to the Elements of Harmony, you have failed me.” The grey alicorn closed his eyes. A few seconds later there was a sharp crack as the grey glow disappeared and the stallion slumped to the floor. Fluttershy whimpered, hearing that the gray alicorn shifted his focus to the six mares in front of him.

“So you six are the ones that my sisters trusted with the Elements of Harmony.” He said coldly

“Y-yes the Elements of Harmony re-revealed themselves to us when we defeated Ni-Nightmare Moon.” Twilight stuttered. “And we plan to use them on you now.” She said gaining confidence as her horn lit up and the case that held the elements of harmony floated out.

“Hope you liked you vacation Prince Cloudburst because you are going back to the Everfree Forest.” Rainbow Dash said with a cocky tone.

“I do not plan on going back to that horrible copse of trees unless I’m going to raze it.” The alicorn said with growing anger “and I am no longer ‘Prince Cloudburst’ I am Lord Tempest and you will address me as such you ungrateful whelp!”

“Whatever I’ll burst your cloud.” Rainbow Dash said the anger in her voice rising as she took off towards Lord Tempest to be stopped by a wall of gray robed pegasi. Twilight telekinetically grabbed the end of Rainbows tail and yanked her back to the ground. Rainbow Dash quickly spat “we still have the elements of harmony you know”

“Yes I know and I plan to rectify that situation” Lord Tempest said as the case that held the elements was wrenched out of twilights grasp. He gave it to several robed ponies and they left the room with it. Returning his attention to the six in front of him he then addressed the room “you six are now under arrest for treason. I have found that you are all guilty of treason, your sentence is death, and I will execute you one by one tomorrow at noon. Get them out of my sight” he said to the robed figures as the six mares all broke down in tears they were escorted out of the Hall of Elements and to the dungeons.

A/N Lord Tempest… wow um ya I wrote this and I don’t want to ever meet someone like him. And looking back on him now doesn’t he seem like one part Darth Vader, one part Hitler, and one part pompous ass (I mean seriously he was talking down to Twilight and he insulted Rainbow Dash). Also lord tempest was orriginaly going to be lord maelstrom but when I did my double check I discovered that a maelstrom is a whirlpool not some crazy storm so he became Prince Cloudburst/ Lord Tempest well hay until next chapter please comment (i will reply if you do) and rate

Chapter 3

Allons-y
Chapter three

“No no no no no no no, this can’t be happening.” Twilight muttered to herself pacing back and forth in the cell she and her friends were locked in. This day had gone from bad to much worse very quickly.

“Twilight calm down” Applejack said forcefully “ah know you’re scared, we all are, you just have to calm down so that we can figure a way out of here.” Twilight stopped pacing and sat down, took a couple quick breaths and looked around the cell. There were three benches, two long ones on the side walls, and another half the size of the others on the back wall. There were no windows; the light came from a couple dimly lit torches outside of their cell. Rarity was laying on one of the benches, Pinkie Pie was sitting across from her, Rainbow Dash was trying to see how much room there was to fly, while Fluttershy was content to staying curled up and sobbing underneath the bench in the back of the room. Twilight then made her way to Pinkie Pie to ask the pink mare if she could try to comfort Fluttershy. Pinkie went over to Fluttershy and gave her a hug, seeing this Rarity also went to help comfort her. Twilight then made her way to the bars, she stuck her head through the bars and looked left and saw more rows of cells and the door that led to what was the royal guard’s office. She then looked right there where less torches that way but she could barely make out to cages suspended from the ceiling, one had a white and pink blob in it, and the other had a small midnight blue figure that appeared to be a small foal.

“pst… pst” Twilight hissed towards the foal “hey are you two ok?” she asked as the blue figure stirred and turned to face Twilight, she recognized who the small foals were once the blue one spoke.

“Twilight Sparkle?” Princess Luna said surprised “I’m sorry that I have put you through this, I should have brought the elements with me, or I should have gone with you.” Her voice growing more and more concerned and disappointed.

“Don’t worry princess we will figure a way out of here just give us time.” Twilight said as the door to the dungeon opened and three jailors walked in carrying several bowls. Two of the jailors stopped at the door of the cell and slid the bowls thru a slot at the bottom of the door the other one put a bowl in each of the suspended cages. As soon as he turned his back on the cages, a bowl full of disgusting brown slop nailed him in the back of the head. He turned to face the two cages, Luna was ignoring her bowl the pink and white blob didn’t have one, the jailor then reared back and kicked the cage hard enough to send it crashing into the ceiling.

“fuckin bitch…” he muttered to himself then turned his attention to Twilight “and you six aint gettin out of here until yer execution so sit down relax and count yer selves lucky that Lord Tempest didn’t just execute you on the spot.” As the guards left the dungeon Celestia sat up her back to Twilight. She stretched quickly and cracked her neck twice to alleviate some soreness. She then turned her head to face Luna and said.

“Luna I think it’s time we called Him,”

“HIM, BUT HE IS FOR EMERGENCYS ONLY!”

“I know but I’m pretty sure that this qualifies as an emergency”

“But wont Cloudburst be able to detect Him? You know that He can’t take us right?”

“Yes he will be able to detect Him and yes we won’t be able to go with Him but, we aren’t calling Him for us” Celestia said nodding toward Twilight.

“So when He gets here where will they go, how will he make it out with them… oh right… that infernal box, so are you going to send the message?”

Celestia just nodded as her face contorted into a concentrated smirk and Luna turned toward Twilight and said “don’t worry we are getting you out just trust us when we say trust Him.”

“Princess Luna what’s going on who is “Him”, what does He do, how come He can’t get you out as well?” Twilight said bombarding Luna with questions, again.

“Don’t worry Twilight He will answer all your questions, He should be here soon.” Luna said reassuringly. Several seconds later there was a loud groan almost like a rusty wheal on a cart that was stuck in the mud. In the middle of the cell the impossible was happening, a blue box was just appearing. The six mares all instinctively backed away when with a final groan the blue box had solidified in the middle of the cell, several seconds later a beige stallion with a spiky brown mane and an hourglass cutie mark stepped out of the blue box.

Lord Tempest was sitting lazily on his newly claimed throne. Before him were several noble ponies, local government officials from the surrounding towns, and his guards. The nobles and other officials where swearing their allegiance to him, when he got an indescribable feeling. Snapping to attention he looked out one the many windows at the guards building

“No it can’t be…” he muttered to himself after several seconds thought “yes it is it’s Him.” He muttered with malice “GAURDS SUROUND THE DOUNGENS, NOPONY IS ALOWED OUT UNLESS THEY ARE ME OR A CORPS.” He yelled as loud as he could. He then leapt off of the throne and flew out of one of the windows.

“Ah well this is rather unexpected I’m in a jail cell, not that that I have never been in a jail cell before, but still a little weird to be told to come to this place exactly at this time.” The stallion said with a Trottingham accent walking towards the bars completely oblivious to the six mares flanking him. He stuck his head out of the bars and looked down to the cages “ello princesses” before pulling his head back into the cell “right you six into the TARDIS, let’s go one at a time behind me.” He said as he walked into the blue box. The six mares all stared at each other with puzzled looks. Twilight then stuck her head out of the bars and looked at the princesses, while her friends filed into the strange blue box.

“Princess Celestia, who is this guy where did he come from? How are we-” she was then cut off by a loud crack

“Twilight trust me He will explain now get in the damn box” Celestia yelled at Twilight

“ya Dawn listen to me.” the deranged earth pony said dragging her by her tail into the blue box.

As soon as the doors to the blue box closed Lord Tempest blew out the door to the dungeon he then fired several lightning bolts at the blue box as it faded out of existence. He screamed in frustration and anger before turning his rage to the jailers ending their lives in three quick flashes of lightning.

Twilight opened her eyes, before her was a pair of dingy off white doors with a set of windows at the top. She then looked down at the floor it was gunmetal grey. The brass colored walls where cratered with hexagon shaped indents that had a slight glow in the middle and gently sloped upward to form a domed ceiling supported by many unusually shaped pillars. In the center there was an elevated control panel with a safety rail around it. The crazy beige stallion was hitting random buttons as Twilight approached him.

“This is impossible…” She trailed off mid sentence walking up the ramp to the control panel. The beige stallion turned his attention to her and said “Well that was rather anti climatic, I was hoping for something more along the lines of ‘it’s bigger on the inside’ that’s what everyone says, but you’re not everyone aren’t you miss Sunset Sequin?” he said open endedly.

“It’s everypony, not everyone, and my name is Twilight Sparkle.” She said dryly.

“you do know that I just rescued you from a deranged alicorn by showing up in a blue box right, this is hardly the time for a grammar lesson,” he then thought out loud “I really got to remember that its everypony not everyone, and your name is not Sunset Sequin.”

“Well then thank you very much for saving me and my friends mister, who are you exactly?” She asked.

“You can call me The Doctor.” The Doctor said.

“Doctor…” she said rotating her hoof hoping that he would continue to speak.

“Just The Doctor” he said flatly

“What? That makes no sense, nopony is named just The Doctor and besides if you where a doctor you wouldn’t have an hourglass as a cutie mark.” She finished smugly.

“well I’m not that kind of doctor… as for my cutie mark… ill explain later but first let’s get everypony, ha I’m learning, back here.” As he walked around the control panel and approached a microphone. “Girls could please make your way back to the control room I have something important to tell you all.” Over the course of several minuets Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash all filed into the control room.

“Where’s Pinkie we have been waiting forever.” Rainbow Dash moaned.

“Relax Rainbow we’ve only been watein for ah few minutes, and besides who knows how far she has gone, this place is massive.” Applejack said.

“Speaking of that, how is this place so big? There must be some very powerful magic in here.” Twilight asked.

“Oh well it’s because its-” The Doctor started.

“Its dimensionally transcendental, whatever that means.” Pinkie Pie said popping out of one of the floor panels, soaking wet.

“That’s correct basically the inside and the outside exist in different dimensions 110% non magical just science, and it would appear that you found the pool, also one of my house rules is “no bending the fabric of space unless I do it” it could create a mess that I really don’t want to clean up.” He said. “By the way how did you know that?” he quickly asked.

“It was in some song I heard forever ago.” Pinkie said with confidence.

Everypony just stared at Pinkie before The Doctor started “yes… well… Celestia has trusted me with an important task, protect you six while you recover the elements of harmony.”

“Ya… well how are we supposed to get the elements, last I saw they were being dragged off to Celestia knows where.” Rainbow Dash stated.

“Well what were you expecting, waltzing right up to the gate and asking Tempest if we could have the Elements of Harmony then if he would let us blast him back to the Everfree Forest?” The Doctor asked.

“Um yes” Fluttershy quietly muttered.

“It happened a lot like that with Discord” Twilight said.

“well I’m sorry girls but I think the answer is clear we need to steal The Elements of Harmony, now we need a plan.”

“If I knew what I had to work with then maybe I could come up with something” Twilight said, “and no offence Rainbow Dash but your plan was terrible.”

“My plan would have worked if the door said ‘pull’ on it” Rainbow said with a tone of annoyance yet truth.

“So let’s see what skills do we have, Rainbow is a fast flyer, Applejack is strong and I’m good with magic. Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy what skills do you think that you can bring to the table?” she asked the three mares.

“I can cook… AND BLOW THINGS UP!” The pink pony exclaimed way too cheerfully.

“Well I could make disguises and I’m quite handy with a lock pick” Rarity added.

“Um… well I don’t think I can do anything else besides work with animals” Fluttershy said timidly.

“Can you get an animal to tell you what they have seen?” Twilight asked.

“uhh… I guess I could.”

“I can work with that, but I wish that we could get some more help” Twilight said slightly disappointed.

“I think I can help fix that just let me set the TARDIS down.” The Doctor said as he strafed around the control panel in the center of the room pushing buttons and pulling leavers as he went. The TARDIS started to violently shake. After a few seconds The Doctor turned to the six mares and said “ok it should have been a month since Tempest took over, Ponyville shouldn’t have changed that much.” He said as he trotted to the doors.
The six mares all looked at each other with puzzled looks on their faces when Applejack said “uhh Professor,”
“Doctor” he interjected quickly.

“We have only been away for ah few minutes how can we have been gone ah month, and we were in jail how can we be back in Ponyville?” she continued.

“well that’s a good question, did I tell you what TARDIS stands for yet?” he said turning to the six extremely confused mares “I’ll take that as a no, well TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space, so with it I can travel through time and space.” He said walking back towards the doors. He opened them stuck his head out quickly before pulling it back in.

“Um girls was Ponyville in a police state when you left it?”
